Optimization of culture of Leptospira from humans with leptospirosis.

Optimization of culture of Leptospira from humans with leptospirosis.

A prospective study of 989 patients with acute febrile illness was performed in northeast Thailand to define the yield of Leptospira from four different types of blood sample. Based on a comparison of the yields from whole blood, surface plasma, deposit from spun plasma, and clotted blood samples fr...
